Before you use a title checked out from this website, you'll need to activate the software that you downloaded. You only need to activate the software once for each machine on which you'll use the material. See below for more on activation.

OverDrive Media Console:

OverDrive Media Console utilizes Windows Media Player� 9 Series or newer to play files. The first time that Windows Media Player attempts to open a DRM-protected file, it will alert you that a Security Update must be performed before the file may be opened. The update takes just a few moments, and must be performed before Microsoft Windows Media Player will allow any DRM-protected files to be played.

Once you have checked out a title, a download page will be displayed. Click the 'Download' link to start the download. Once the download is complete, you can close your Internet connection and enjoy the materials offline.

You will never accrue late fees with titles you download from this website. At the end of the loan period, titles will expire and be automatically 'returned' to the library. At this time, you can delete the expired file(s) from your machine.
